Question 627883: What is the distance between the points (21, -30) and (3, 8)?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)


d = sqrt((3-21)^2+( 8-( -30))^2)


d = sqrt((3-21)^2+( 8-( -30))^2)


d = sqrt((-18)^2+(38)^2)


d = sqrt(324+1444)


d = sqrt(1768)


d = 2*sqrt(442)


So exact distance between the two points is 2*sqrt(442) units.
